270 Park Avenue on the Midtown East skyline.
Construction has wrapped up at 270 Park Avenue, the headquarters of JPMorgan Chase in Midtown East. Designed by Foster + Partners, the supertall tower rises to 1,388 feet and offers 2.5 million square feet of office space for 15,000 employees. The form of the tower gradually steps back at the east and west facades and tapers on all four sides. At the ground floor, diagonal columns rise up to support the large trading room floors above.
East facade.
The tower’s 1.2 million square feet of facade features triple pane glass and insulated glass units that will help with thermal control of the building. Commercial bronze clads the twenty perimeter columns, while copper nickel alloy panels form the diamond shapes on the east and west facades. Level 17 will feature a walkable skylight with an eight feet tall wind screen. At the two-story base, sloping super columns and steel transfer girders transfer the gravity and lateral loads of the tower down to the ground
